Post-poll violence sufferer can file complaint to NHRC, NCW https://www.outlookindia.com/newsscroll/postpoll-violence-sufferer-can-file-complaint- to-nhrc-ncw-and-other-rights-bodies-calcutta-hc/2085404 The Calcutta High Court on Tuesday directed that any person who has suffered on account of post- poll violence in West Bengal can file complaint to the National Human Rights Commission, WBHRC, NCW and NCSCST. Hearing PILs over post-post violence in the state, a five- judge bench directed that the commissions in turn will forward those complaints to the director general of police (DGP) immediately. "We direct that if any person has suffered on account of post-poll violence, he shall be at liberty to file complaint along with the supporting documents to the National Human Rights Commission, West Bengal Human Rights Commission, National Commission for Women and National Commission for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes," the bench ordered. It directed that complaint can be filed either by way of hard copy or online. The matters will be heard again on May 25, the court directed. The five-judge bench comprises Acting Chief Justice Rajesh Bindal and justices I P Mukerji, Harish Tandon, Soumen Sen and Subrata Talukdar. The state government sought time to comply with the court''s earlier order to furnish information on the number of complaints received by the DGP from the commissions. On the last date of hearing, the bench had also requested the Advocate General representing the state to apprise the court about any designated e-mail id to enable the aggrieved persons to lodge their complaints online. Petitioners had alleged that they were not permitted to lodge complaints in the police station and in some cases they were unable to do so as they had to run away from their places of residence owing to the post-poll violence. The state government sought more time to furnish such information. The court directed that the information be furnished on the next date of hearing. One of the PILs, filed by lawyer petitioner Anindya Sundar Das, raised the issue of violence taking place in various parts of the state after the assembly elections. The petitioner claimed that life and liberty of the people was in danger due to alleged inaction by the police. The state government had on May 10 submitted before the five-judge bench that there has been no post-poll political violence in the state since May 9 and assured that all possible steps will be taken to ensure peace in future.

Murder of a ‘Dreaded Gangster’ in a UP Jail Exposes the Brutality of the Indian State https://thewire.in/rights/up-jail-dreaded-gangster-murder Several newspapers carried short reports on May 14, 2021, about a shootout in a jail in Chitrakoot, a district in Uttar Pradesh. Two inmates of the jail were killed and one was gunned down by the police. Behind every such short news report, there is a deeply tragic story. You won’t often hear this story, because sooner or later, it will be reduced to a statistic. A number. This number will finally be the only way our collective memory will remember the brutality that many of us in India have had to face, often at the hands of the Indian state. I have worked in rural west Uttar Pradesh for seven years with Chal Chitra Abhiyaan, a film and media collective that focuses on local issues, and by now I have lost my ability to sugar-coat the sick brutality that constitutes the UP state government. In this piece for The Wire, I will try to humanise a statistic. Please bear with me. According to the news reports, Anshu Dixit, a known gangster, shot two people dead in Chitrakoot jail – Mirajudeen, a gangster apparently close to MLA Mukhtar Ansari, and Mukim, aka Kala. As a result, in self defence, the police allegedly shot Anshu Dixit dead. ‘Self defence’ is the explanation the UP police has used in the more than 5,000 ‘encounters’ that it has claimed it has conducted in the last four years. It is their template explanation. Since then, the numbers have increased substantially. I didn’t know Anshu Dixit. I didn’t know Mirajudeen. I did know Mukim Kala. I know his family. I know how they have been brutalised by the UP government. I am going to share snippets from Kala’s story. FIR fodder Mukim was a known outlaw from West UP’s Shamli district. He was just about in his late 20s when he was declared ‘a dreaded gangster’. Most ‘dreaded gangsters’ in West UP are in their early to mid-20s. The legendary gangster from Saharanpur, Mustafa aka Kagga, was also in his late 20s when he was killed by the UP police in 2011. He is now part of the area’s folklore. “Kagga only killed police people, never ordinary civilians” is one of the most common statements made about him. In a state where police brutality against the poor and marginalised is celebrated by the government, Kagga’s elevation to the status of legend for putting fear in the hearts of the police is understandable. Many known criminals in the area were trained by the late Kagga. According to some people, Mukim was one of them. ctivists and lawyers in the area, her resolve to get justice for her son was admirable.

While many of the people who had initially filed cases against the police for the ‘encounters’ of their sons withdrew their cases in the face of continuous police pressure, Meena’s resolve was unshakable. In 2018, I travelled with her to Yamunagar jail in Haryana to meet Mukim. Mukim had a medium build; he was fit and looked like any another 20-something man. But his eyes displayed incessant worry for himself and his family. Meena and Mukim discussed Vasim’s case, the family finances, his condition in jail and so on. The ‘dreaded gangster’ seemed to be little more than a misguided youngster who, no matter how hard he tried, would remain trapped in the rot of the system that had made him what he was. In February 2018, I met Wahid in Saharanpur jail. Wahid was Mukim’s rival; they’d even fought gang wars against each other. Another ‘dreaded criminal’, Wahid was just as young as Mukim and had entered the world of crime in much the same way. Ironically, the rival gangsters were patronised by the same set of politicians. Paranoia justified Between March 19, 2017, when Bisht (calling himself Yogi Adityanath) became Uttar Pradesh’s chief minister, and December 2019, the police carried out 5,178 ‘encounters’. Nearly 40% of the victims were Muslims. The numbers may have increased substantially since then. In 2017 and 2018, Chal Chitra Abhiyaan’s team visited some of the families of those who had been ‘encountered’ by the police. The families were struggling financially. They didn’t have the money to get their daughters married. Their houses were small and often falling apart. I wondered where all the money that the state had accused these ‘dreaded gangsters’ of accumulating had gone. Meena’s husband, Mushtakim, finally got bail in early 2018. We were relieved that she was no longer alone. Both of them were determined to fight for justice for Vasim. Nothing could shake their resolve. After continuous harassment by the UP police, they moved to a relative’s place in Haryana. On one of their visits to Mukim in Haryana, Mushtakim was picked up by the UP police and taken to Saharanpur jail. He has been languishing there ever since, although he did get a brief parole during the first lockdown last year. Meena continued to run from pillar to post for her son and her husband. Mukim had been transferred to several jails since his first arrest. Meena had always feared for his life. She had sensed that he could be killed in jail or when he was presented to the court during his hearings. Her lawyers sent several faxes to the National Human Rights Commission, the district magistrates of the area and so on, urging them to ensure his security. In response to a writ petition on March 22, 2021, when Mukim was transferred to Saharanpur jail, the court had clearly stated, “We dispose of this writ petition with the direction to the respondents to conduct as per Jail Manual (sic) and thereby to see that no harm is caused to the petitioner’s son.”

Some of us felt that Meena was being paranoid about her son’s safety, but given the track record of the UP police, one never knows what to expect. About a week before the shootout, in the middle of the worst health pandemic since Indian independence, Mukim was suddenly shifted to Chitrakoot jail. This time, given the lockdown and how everything was shut, no one was able to send the faxes to the requisite authorities. Meena was worried. I felt this was a routine transfer, made to decongest jails during the pandemic. I was wrong. Where the guns are aimed I marvel at the UP police. The UP government. The UP administration. At a time when thousands of dead bodies are floating in the river Ganga which flows through UP, the state machinery is invested in making nefarious plans on how to bump off gangsters they are uncomfortable with. Make no mistake: it’s not as if crime is reducing in UP. Only selected gangsters are killed because they carry with them uncomfortable secrets about the police, politicians and people in the administration. Because the very gangsters that were once used by the powers that be are now a burden to them. Young men are made pawns in ugly political games. Many among the privileged of the country looked away when the state’s ruthlessness was displayed in Kashmir, several Northeastern states, Punjab. Today similar brutalities are being carried out in India’s heartland, Uttar Pradesh. Initially, the bulk of the victims were Muslims, people from the other backward castes and even Dalits. Many among the privileged elite looked away. They even looked away when the houses of Muslims were vandalised by the police in Muzaffarnagar to stop the anti-Citizenship (Amendment) Act protests. But the guns are now being aimed against other communities as well. The UP police is a heavily understaffed and crazily overworked force. A force that is just barely in control. A force that has been given a free hand to brutalise the weakest and the most vulnerable in the state. The UP government wants to introduce an Uttar Pradesh Special Security Force, a force that can arrest you and search your house without a warrant. No citizen will even have the right to file a case against any act of this special security force. Let’s not fool ourselves. AFSPA [the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act] is now right in our backyards, no longer reserved for states with religious or linguistic or ethnic minorities. We may not be too far from experiencing what Mukim and his family are suffering today.

Ruia deaths: NHRC seeks report from Health Department https://www.thehansindia.com/news/cities/tirupathi/ruia-deaths-nhrc-seeks-report-from- health-department-686795 Responding to the two complaints on the death of 11 Covid patientsdue to non- availability of oxygen in government SVRR (Ruia) general hospital here, the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) called for a report within four weeks from the principal secretary, department of health and family welfare, Government of Andhra Pradesh. The commission in its order said that it has taken the issue of health care of Covid patients very seriously and the allegations if true raise serious issues of human rights violations. The commission has also issued an advisory on the subject after transmitting the complaint to the principal secretary for submitting a report. It may be recalled that senior Congress leader and former Union minister Dr Chinta Mohan on Friday petitioned the NHRC to probe the Covid patients deaths that occurred due to lack of oxygen in SVRR government hospital ICU and other wards (on May 10) and alleged that about 30 died in the incident which is a serious human rights violation and injustice to the poor. He requested the NHRC to register a case into the deaths in SVRR and investigate. Another person, Jestadi Sudhakar of All India Council of Human Rights, Liberties, Social Justice, also on May 10 filed a complaint with NHRC, requesting the commission to intervene in the issue of the death of Covid patients due to non- availability of oxygen supply in SVRR hospital.

NHRC asks govt to pay Rs 1 lakh to kin of girl who ended life after cop brutality last year https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/ranchi/nhrc-asks-govt-to-pay-rs-1-lakh-to-kin-of- girl-who-ended-life-after-cop-brutality-last-year/articleshow/82750392.cms The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) on Monday directed the Jharkhand government to provide Rs 1 lakh compensation to the family of a 12-year-old girl, who was badly beaten by Dhansar police in Dhanbad in April last year, leading her to commit suicide following depression.NHRC also asked the DGP to ensure action against the erring officials, including the then officer in-charge of Dhansar police station, under relevant provisions of the law. NHRC granted four weeks’ time to the state government to comply with the directives. A formal directive was issued to chief secretary Sukhdev Singh on Monday. Sharing a copy of the order with TOI on Tuesday, Onkar Vishwakarma, a human rights activist based in Koderma district, who had filed a formal complaint before NHRC last year, said the deceased minor hailed from Brite Kusunda area under Dhansar police station. “On April 19 last year, the girl had gone to a local grocery shop in the morning to buy some items when the local police on patrolling charged canes on her. She slipped into depression after that and committed suicide the day next,” he said, adding that excesses against civilian, especially a minor girl, was highly condemnable. “There could be many ways to enforce a lockdown and especially with kids, one has to be more sensitive,” he said, adding that the incident prompted him to knock doors of the NHRC seeking justice for the poor family. Based on the complaint, NHRC sought response from the state police. Dhanbad SSP in his response on October 3 last year told the commission that police mistook the girl to be a boy because of her haircut and outfit. “On the direction of the police inspector, officials used force to disperse the crowd. We registered a case and the matter is under Investigation. SP City, Dhanbad, inquired into the matter and recommended departmental action against Bhikari Ram, police inspector cum SHO of Dhansar PS, the then Dhanbad SSP was transferred from Dhansar police station to the police centre,” Dhanbad police had stated in their reply to NHRC. Unconvinced with the police action, NHRC asked state government and police for appropriate action. “Considering the material placed on record, it reveals that police beating during the lockdown led her into depression and she committed suicide. The commission had issued showcause notice, however, it has not received any reply or response from the concerned authority which leads to the commission that the chief secretary of Jharkhand has nothing to urge upon the commission. Therefore, it is directed to provide compensation of Rs 1,00,000 to the next of kin of the deceased victim within four weeks and submit compliance. In addition, director general of police is directed to take stern legal action under relevant provisions of law against guilty police officials, including Bhikari Ram, and inform within four weeks,” read the order.

Post-poll violence sufferer can file complaint to NHRC, NCW https://www.outlookindia.com/newsscroll/postpoll-violence-sufferer-can-file-complaint- to-nhrc-ncw-and-other-rights-bodies-calcutta-hc/2085404 The Calcutta High Court on Tuesday directed that any person who has suffered on account of post- poll violence in West Bengal can file complaint to the National Human Rights Commission, WBHRC, NCW and NCSCST. Hearing PILs over post-post violence in the state, a five- judge bench directed that the commissions in turn will forward those complaints to the director general of police (DGP) immediately. "We direct that if any person has suffered on account of post-poll violence, he shall be at liberty to file complaint along with the supporting documents to the National Human Rights Commission, West Bengal Human Rights Commission, National Commission for Women and National Commission for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes," the bench ordered. It directed that complaint can be filed either by way of hard copy or online. The matters will be heard again on May 25, the court directed. The five-judge bench comprises Acting Chief Justice Rajesh Bindal and justices I P Mukerji, Harish Tandon, Soumen Sen and Subrata Talukdar. The state government sought time to comply with the court''s earlier order to furnish information on the number of complaints received by the DGP from the commissions. On the last date of hearing, the bench had also requested the Advocate General representing the state to apprise the court about any designated e-mail id to enable the aggrieved persons to lodge their complaints online. Petitioners had alleged that they were not permitted to lodge complaints in the police station and in some cases they were unable to do so as they had to run away from their places of residence owing to the post-poll violence. The state government sought more time to furnish such information. The court directed that the information be furnished on the next date of hearing. One of the PILs, filed by lawyer petitioner Anindya Sundar Das, raised the issue of violence taking place in various parts of the state after the assembly elections. The petitioner claimed that life and liberty of the people was in danger due to alleged inaction by the police. The state government had on May 10 submitted before the five-judge bench that there has been no post-poll political violence in the state since May 9 and assured that all possible steps will be taken to ensure peace in future.

Murder of a ‘Dreaded Gangster’ in a UP Jail Exposes the Brutality of the Indian State https://thewire.in/rights/up-jail-dreaded-gangster-murder Several newspapers carried short reports on May 14, 2021, about a shootout in a jail in Chitrakoot, a district in Uttar Pradesh. Two inmates of the jail were killed and one was gunned down by the police. Behind every such short news report, there is a deeply tragic story. You won’t often hear this story, because sooner or later, it will be reduced to a statistic. A number. This number will finally be the only way our collective memory will remember the brutality that many of us in India have had to face, often at the hands of the Indian state. I have worked in rural west Uttar Pradesh for seven years with Chal Chitra Abhiyaan, a film and media collective that focuses on local issues, and by now I have lost my ability to sugar-coat the sick brutality that constitutes the UP state government. In this piece for The Wire, I will try to humanise a statistic. Please bear with me. According to the news reports, Anshu Dixit, a known gangster, shot two people dead in Chitrakoot jail – Mirajudeen, a gangster apparently close to MLA Mukhtar Ansari, and Mukim, aka Kala. As a result, in self defence, the police allegedly shot Anshu Dixit dead. ‘Self defence’ is the explanation the UP police has used in the more than 5,000 ‘encounters’ that it has claimed it has conducted in the last four years. It is their template explanation. Since then, the numbers have increased substantially. I didn’t know Anshu Dixit. I didn’t know Mirajudeen. I did know Mukim Kala. I know his family. I know how they have been brutalised by the UP government. I am going to share snippets from Kala’s story. FIR fodder Mukim was a known outlaw from West UP’s Shamli district. He was just about in his late 20s when he was declared ‘a dreaded gangster’. Most ‘dreaded gangsters’ in West UP are in their early to mid-20s. The legendary gangster from Saharanpur, Mustafa aka Kagga, was also in his late 20s when he was killed by the UP police in 2011. He is now part of the area’s folklore. “Kagga only killed police people, never ordinary civilians” is one of the most common statements made about him. In a state where police brutality against the poor and marginalised is celebrated by the government, Kagga’s elevation to the status of legend for putting fear in the hearts of the police is understandable. Many known criminals in the area were trained by the late Kagga. According to some people, Mukim was one of them. ctivists and lawyers in the area, her resolve to get justice for her son was admirable.

While many of the people who had initially filed cases against the police for the ‘encounters’ of their sons withdrew their cases in the face of continuous police pressure, Meena’s resolve was unshakable. In 2018, I travelled with her to Yamunagar jail in Haryana to meet Mukim. Mukim had a medium build; he was fit and looked like any another 20-something man. But his eyes displayed incessant worry for himself and his family. Meena and Mukim discussed Vasim’s case, the family finances, his condition in jail and so on. The ‘dreaded gangster’ seemed to be little more than a misguided youngster who, no matter how hard he tried, would remain trapped in the rot of the system that had made him what he was. In February 2018, I met Wahid in Saharanpur jail. Wahid was Mukim’s rival; they’d even fought gang wars against each other. Another ‘dreaded criminal’, Wahid was just as young as Mukim and had entered the world of crime in much the same way. Ironically, the rival gangsters were patronised by the same set of politicians. Paranoia justified Between March 19, 2017, when Bisht (calling himself Yogi Adityanath) became Uttar Pradesh’s chief minister, and December 2019, the police carried out 5,178 ‘encounters’. Nearly 40% of the victims were Muslims. The numbers may have increased substantially since then. In 2017 and 2018, Chal Chitra Abhiyaan’s team visited some of the families of those who had been ‘encountered’ by the police. The families were struggling financially. They didn’t have the money to get their daughters married. Their houses were small and often falling apart. I wondered where all the money that the state had accused these ‘dreaded gangsters’ of accumulating had gone. Meena’s husband, Mushtakim, finally got bail in early 2018. We were relieved that she was no longer alone. Both of them were determined to fight for justice for Vasim. Nothing could shake their resolve. After continuous harassment by the UP police, they moved to a relative’s place in Haryana. On one of their visits to Mukim in Haryana, Mushtakim was picked up by the UP police and taken to Saharanpur jail. He has been languishing there ever since, although he did get a brief parole during the first lockdown last year. Meena continued to run from pillar to post for her son and her husband. Mukim had been transferred to several jails since his first arrest. Meena had always feared for his life. She had sensed that he could be killed in jail or when he was presented to the court during his hearings. Her lawyers sent several faxes to the National Human Rights Commission, the district magistrates of the area and so on, urging them to ensure his security. In response to a writ petition on March 22, 2021, when Mukim was transferred to Saharanpur jail, the court had clearly stated, “We dispose of this writ petition with the direction to the respondents to conduct as per Jail Manual (sic) and thereby to see that no harm is caused to the petitioner’s son.”

Some of us felt that Meena was being paranoid about her son’s safety, but given the track record of the UP police, one never knows what to expect. About a week before the shootout, in the middle of the worst health pandemic since Indian independence, Mukim was suddenly shifted to Chitrakoot jail. This time, given the lockdown and how everything was shut, no one was able to send the faxes to the requisite authorities. Meena was worried. I felt this was a routine transfer, made to decongest jails during the pandemic. I was wrong. Where the guns are aimed I marvel at the UP police. The UP government. The UP administration. At a time when thousands of dead bodies are floating in the river Ganga which flows through UP, the state machinery is invested in making nefarious plans on how to bump off gangsters they are uncomfortable with. Make no mistake: it’s not as if crime is reducing in UP. Only selected gangsters are killed because they carry with them uncomfortable secrets about the police, politicians and people in the administration. Because the very gangsters that were once used by the powers that be are now a burden to them. Young men are made pawns in ugly political games. Many among the privileged of the country looked away when the state’s ruthlessness was displayed in Kashmir, several Northeastern states, Punjab. Today similar brutalities are being carried out in India’s heartland, Uttar Pradesh. Initially, the bulk of the victims were Muslims, people from the other backward castes and even Dalits. Many among the privileged elite looked away. They even looked away when the houses of Muslims were vandalised by the police in Muzaffarnagar to stop the anti-Citizenship (Amendment) Act protests. But the guns are now being aimed against other communities as well. The UP police is a heavily understaffed and crazily overworked force. A force that is just barely in control. A force that has been given a free hand to brutalise the weakest and the most vulnerable in the state. The UP government wants to introduce an Uttar Pradesh Special Security Force, a force that can arrest you and search your house without a warrant. No citizen will even have the right to file a case against any act of this special security force. Let’s not fool ourselves. AFSPA [the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act] is now right in our backyards, no longer reserved for states with religious or linguistic or ethnic minorities. We may not be too far from experiencing what Mukim and his family are suffering today.

Ruia deaths: NHRC seeks report from Health Department https://www.thehansindia.com/news/cities/tirupathi/ruia-deaths-nhrc-seeks-report-from- health-department-686795 Responding to the two complaints on the death of 11 Covid patientsdue to non- availability of oxygen in government SVRR (Ruia) general hospital here, the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) called for a report within four weeks from the principal secretary, department of health and family welfare, Government of Andhra Pradesh.

The commission has also issued an advisory on the subject after transmitting the complaint to the principal secretary for submitting a report. It may be recalled that senior Congress leader and former Union minister Dr Chinta Mohan on Friday petitioned the NHRC to probe the Covid patients deaths that occurred due to lack of oxygen in SVRR government hospital ICU and other wards (on May 10) and alleged that about 30 died in the incident which is a serious human rights violation and injustice to the poor. He requested the NHRC to register a case into the deaths in SVRR and investigate. Another person, Jestadi Sudhakar of All India Council of Human Rights, Liberties, Social Justice, also on May 10 filed a complaint with NHRC, requesting the commission to intervene in the issue of the death of Covid patients due to non- availability of oxygen supply in SVRR hospital.

NHRC asks govt to pay Rs 1 lakh to kin of girl who ended life after cop brutality last year https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/ranchi/nhrc-asks-govt-to-pay-rs-1-lakh-to-kin-of- girl-who-ended-life-after-cop-brutality-last-year/articleshow/82750392.cms The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) on Monday directed the Jharkhand government to provide Rs 1 lakh compensation to the family of a 12-year-old girl, who was badly beaten by Dhansar police in Dhanbad in April last year, leading her to commit suicide following depression.NHRC also asked the DGP to ensure action against the erring officials, including the then officer in-charge of Dhansar police station, under relevant provisions of the law. NHRC granted four weeks’ time to the state government to comply with the directives. A formal directive was issued to chief secretary Sukhdev Singh on Monday. Sharing a copy of the order with TOI on Tuesday, Onkar Vishwakarma, a human rights activist based in Koderma district, who had filed a formal complaint before NHRC last year, said the deceased minor hailed from Brite Kusunda area under Dhansar police station. “On April 19 last year, the girl had gone to a local grocery shop in the morning to buy some items when the local police on patrolling charged canes on her. She slipped into depression after that and committed suicide the day next,” he said, adding that excesses against civilian, especially a minor girl, was highly condemnable. “There could be many ways to enforce a lockdown and especially with kids, one has to be more sensitive,” he said, adding that the incident prompted him to knock doors of the NHRC seeking justice for the poor family. Based on the complaint, NHRC sought response from the state police. Dhanbad SSP in his response on October 3 last year told the commission that police mistook the girl to be a boy because of her haircut and outfit. “On the direction of the police inspector, officials used force to disperse the crowd. We registered a case and the matter is under Investigation. SP City, Dhanbad, inquired into the matter and recommended departmental action against Bhikari Ram, police inspector cum SHO of Dhansar PS, the then Dhanbad SSP was transferred from Dhansar police station to the police centre,” Dhanbad police had stated in their reply to NHRC. Unconvinced with the police action, NHRC asked state government and police for appropriate action. “Considering the material placed on record, it reveals that police beating during the lockdown led her into depression and she committed suicide. The commission had issued showcause notice, however, it has not received any reply or response from the concerned authority which leads to the commission that the chief secretary of Jharkhand has nothing to urge upon the commission. Therefore, it is directed to provide compensation of Rs 1,00,000 to the next of kin of the deceased victim within four weeks and submit compliance. In addition, director general of police is directed to take stern legal action under relevant provisions of law against guilty police officials, including Bhikari Ram, and inform within four weeks,” read the order.
